Just One More
By now, your 2-year-old can sing the ABCs and even pretends to read. Laying the foundation for reading and writing, these Blue Ribbon books have been hand-selected by Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library literacy experts for containing characteristics specific to their age appropriateness including:
- Wordless books – build your own story (reader and child)
- Values and character
- Issues – fear, conflict, love, safety
- Colors, letters, numbers
- Nursery rhymes
They also build on concepts such as:
- Repetition and predictability – generate language
- Motor skills
- “Self-help” activities – things children can do, things familiar in their daily life
- Use of real photo illustration
- Body awareness
- Nursery rhymes
- Colors, letters, numbers
In addition to promoting age-appropriate language and literacy skills, books are chosen to promote a love of reading and learning; regard for diversity of people, their roles, culture, and environment; promotion of self-esteem and confidence, appreciation of art and aesthetics.
